A visit to Costa Rica is not complete without seeing Arenal's exciting volcano! Hike through lush rainforest with an experienced naturalist, bilingual guide who will point out flora and fauna in the primary and secondary rainforest that lines the base of the Arenal Volcano. You'll then arrive at the observation point - the closest you can get to the base of Arenal Volcano and wait for the sun to set. As it starts to get dark, on clear nights,  you can see Central America's most-active volcano and if you're lucky, you may be able to hear explosions.

Duration: 1.5-2 hours of an easy hike (although there are some muddy sections and a little uphill)
